thom@denpubs.com WARRENSBURG — Warren County’s second-largest town was in the spotlight this week, as the county’s leaders commemorated the Bicentennial of its founding.

The town of Warrensburg was hailed by the county Board of Supervisors at its monthly meeting, held Feb. 15. The town was founded on Feb. 12, 1813, according to historical accounts.

Town of Stony Creek Supervisor Frank Thomas, who serves as the county’s budget officer, read a proclamation honoring Warrensburg.

The document was presented to Warrensburg supervisor Kevin Geraghty, who serves as the chairman of the county board.

A framed print of the 1891 Burleigh Map of Warrensburg was also presented to Geraghty, as well as other Warrensburg officials and citizens attending the event.

Representatives of the Warrensburgh Historical Society, the Warrensburg Beautification Committee, and the Warren County Bicentennial Committee were

Caldwell preschool to reopen, new director hired LAKE GEORGE — After an 18 month-hiatus, Caldwell Presbyterian Church’s preschool — an integral part of the community for decades — is reopening, and it will soon be enrolling students.

In resuming the operations, Caldwell officials have recently appointed Christine Sallstrom as director-teacher of the preschool.

Sallstrom will begin her duties during in a few weeks by registering three- to five-year-old students. Since 1973, the Caldwell Presbyterian Church Preschool has been an educational fixture in the Lake George school district since 1973.

In September, the preschool — which has undergone some renovations recently — will be holding a grand re-opening.

Sallstrom has resided in Lake George with her family this year. She is originally from Pennsylvania where she received her degree in elementary education from Baptist Bible College. Christine’s husband is the youth director at the New Hope Community Church in Queensbury. They have two children — a son who is in the tenth grade at Lake George High, and a daughter attending SUNY Adirondack.

For 40 years, Caldwell Presbyterian has been the only fullfledged preschool in the Lake George community, Church representative Alan Chandler said this week.

“The preschool’s vision is to serve the families of the greater Lake George community with a safe, structured and loving environment to prepare children academically and socially for success as they enter kindergarten,” he said.

Chandler said the church officials plan on hiring a teacher soon to work with Sallstrom. When school is in session, the two will be working with an aide, plus volunteers from their church.

Chandler noted that Lake George Superintendent of Schools Patrick Dee, an alumnus of Caldwell pre-school, interviewed candidates for the director post and helped choose Sallstrom.

Chandler said the preschool had closed temporarily due to low enrollment, but demand for their services have resumed to their prior level.

Three-year-olds have three morning sessions per week, and four- and five-year-olds attend all five weekdays, from 9 a.m. to 11:45 a.m.

First Saratoga & North Creek Railway freight shipment

For details or to enroll a child, stop in at Caldwell Presbyterian Church at 71 Montcalm St. between 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Tuesday through Friday or call the church office at 6682613.

NORTH CREEK — Iowa Pacific Holdings (IPH) announced Feb. 20 that the first freight shipment in 25 years has been transported outbound from North Creek over IPH subsidiary Saratoga & North Creek Railway (SNC).

SNC operates between a connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway at Saratoga Springs and North Creek, a distance of 56.5 miles. The line was built as the Adirondack Railroad in the mid-1800s, to open up the Adirondack Mountain region to both inbound and outbound passenger and freight railroad service. Passenger service was discontinued in 1956. The 29-mile Sanford Lake Branch, running from North Creek to Tahawus, was purchased by Iowa Pacific from National Lead in 2012.

Over the years, the line handled large quantities of ore, processed minerals, and general merchandise freight. The last freight train over the upper portion of the line operated in November, 1989, and in 2003 the freight service for the International Paper plant in Corinth was discontinued. The north half of the line was purchased by Warren County in 1997, the line from Corinth to Saratoga Springs was purchased by the Town of Corinth in 2006.

IPH acquired operating rights to the line in 2011, and has invested approximately $1.5 million in track, passenger station, and ancillary facility upgrades. Rail has been replaced, track sidings rehabilitated, new crossties and rock ballast installed.

SNC operates scheduled passenger service over the line to North Creek, serving seven intermediate stations, using modern, stainless steel passenger car equipment, including classic full dining service and full length dome cars. During the winter season, scheduled weekend snow/ski and special event train service is provided. Barton International, producer of industrial minerals since 1878 is the first freight customer, having shipped their last load over the line in 1988.

Charles Barton, COO commented, “We are very pleased with this first shipment and enthusiastic about future volume opportunities with Iowa Pacific.”

Other potential freight commodities include iron ore, hardwood forest products (logs, pulp, wood chips, and inbound lumber products), aggregates (processed, clean sand and stone), inbound coal, and general merchandise.

A gathering of local parishioners, holding weekly meetings, are exploring a compelling spiritual question.

The Lenten Study Group at St. Sacrement Church is focusing on the theme: “The Easter Experience: What if what happened then changes everything now?”

The study sessions, a series of seven, are being held Mondays at noon, and the second session is Feb. 25 at the church rectory. All are invited to attend, according to Father Jim Loughren.

“We are very excited about this program,” he said. “ We believe it will change people’s lives.”

Also, the church’s Men’s Group meets at 8 a.m. on the first and third Saturdays of each month, also in the church rectory.

Loughren said all men are invited regardless of religious affiliation, if any.

“The sessions offer a very positive and encouraging message each week,” he said.

St. Sacrement is also presenting family-friendly movies at church rectory at 3 p.m. on the second and fourth Sundays of each month. There’s no religious agenda, just a fun social time, Loughren said.

Area economic development chief departing

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com

QUEENSBURY — The county’s top economic development official is leaving her post, and a search is now under way to replace the woman who was known as a dynamic advocate for jobs and industry in the region.

Vicki Pratt Gerbino, President of Warren County Economic Development Corp. for less than two years, is departing effective Feb. 28 to take a similar post in the midwest.

Warren County EDC has launched a search for a new president, according to EDC Board of Directors President Chuck Barton. A committee of the agency has started to identify and interview prospective candidates with the expectation that a new chief executive will be named within two months, Barton said.

“We look forward to naming a dynamic, experienced economic development leader to succeed Vicki Pratt Gerbino, who has worked tirelessly during her tenure to build our awareness of the key success factors in attracting new businesses and retaining current employers in our county,” he said in a statement. “We thank Vicki for her service and wish her well in her new role.”

Barton noted that under Gerbino’s leadership, the EDC has helped a number of area businesses line up financing to expand and prosper, and has developed a plan to partner with Washington County to both attract industry and establish a bi-county loan fund.

Although it’s one of the least populated municipalities in Warren County, the town of Stony Creek will be celebrating in a big way this year as its citizens observe the county’s Bicentennial, town Historian Cindy Cameron announced this week.

On March 12 at 2 p.m. the Stony Creek Methodist Church will be ringing its bell to commemorate 200 years — to the very day — since the county’s founding, she said. This historic Methodist church will be joining dozens of others around the county in this historic observance.

In addition, Stony Creek is also hosting several signature events to honor the Bicentennial.

During Stony Creek’s annual Mountain Festival — a celebration of traditional rural culture — a historical timeline of the last 200 years will be presented twice in the afternoon of both days of the festival, to be held Aug. 3 and 4.

Also, a traditional Mountain Folk Music Concert is to be held at 2 p.m. Sept. 7 at the Green Meadows Recreation Field, with special recognition accorded to the county’s his-

Valentine Hit Parade a triumphant end Get serious ... please! to ACOC building fund campaign L

R

omance was definitely in the air at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek on Feb. 9. The occasion? It was the Valentine Hit Parade II, which brought together a collection of fine musical artists both local and exotic (as far away as Rochester) for an evening of beautiful music followed by excellently prepared refreshments.

The event was a benefit for the Adirondack Community Outreach Center (ACOC) and its Building Fund Campaign; it essentially marked the end of this long-term fund raising effort. Judy Brown, ACOC Chair, was pleased with the community’s support.

“We are delighted with the generous support shown by local businesses and individuals during the Building Fund Campaign,” Brown said. “We still have projects to complete, but with the mortgage paid off, we are assured of a stable future for our most critical program, the food pantry and the family clothing center.”

Performers for this special romantic hit parade event included Carolyn Bischoff, Beatriz de Mello, Marion Moore, Melissa Mulvey, Lis Bischoff-Ormsbee, John Ormsbee, Megan Ormsbee, Jeffrey Schanzer, Bernadette Speach, Emily Stanton, and Dan Studnicky. (The Ormsby family traveled from Rochester to North Creek for this performance.)

Many thanks to all the local businesses, individuals, and ACOC board members who contributed time, energy, and food & beverages for the champagne reception following the performance. Thanks go to: Judy Monroe, Eric and Colleen Potter, the Upper Hudson Musical Arts organization, barVino, Barkeater Chocolate, Basal & Wick’s, Nancy Beaudin, Copperfield Inn, Café Sarah, Garnet Hill Lodge, Inn on Gore, Little Noni’s, Marsha’s and Megan Murtaugh. A special thanks goes to ACOC board member Carolyn Bischoff, who worked so hard to organize a great program.

6 - Adirondack Journal - Opinion

ast week we witnessed the annual drawing of the battle lines during the State of the Union address presented by President Obama with rebuttals from senators Rubio and Paul.

Our political system continues its dysfunctional method of running the country. It seems in unison with the national media, once known for being the watchdogs of political shortcomings. Instead, the national media continues to be ineffective in its role to police ill-mannered, self-serving political figures.

Republican Sen. Rand Paul gave the Tea Party rebuttal 12 hours before the president delivered his speech. Paul’s speech was sarcastic and ended with a call for the president to be tried for treason and banished from the country. Comparing the president’s not-yet-given speech to one worthy of Iran President Ahmadinejad, Sen. Paul called the speech: “Full of empty promises and bald-faced lies we’ve come to expect from President Obama who tonight made a case for his own impeachment.”

Sen. Paul’s prebuttal was preceeded earlier in the day when Speaker of the House Boehner made the comment; “I don’t think he (President Obama) has the guts to do it. He doesn’t have the courage to take on the liberal side of his own party — never has.” In fact, the speaker said, judging by the tone and tenor during the Inaugural Address: “I would expect tonight to be more partisan.”

The president didn’t leave his critics without cause to cry and lament. He laid out plans for debt reduction, tax code overhaul, enhanced job creation, minimum wage, climate control, immigration reform, education improvements, defense and foreign trade. His bully-pulpit ended with examples of families affected by gun violence, as he challenged members of the Congress and Senate repeatedly with: “They deserve a vote.”

The president called for cuts to spending on things like education, job training, Medicare and Social Security benefits to reduce the deficit.

“Deficit reduction alone is not an economic plan,” Obama said. He also recycled a frequently used phrase from the

past, assuring the nation none of this would cost the country a “single dime.”

Dan Alexander “Let's set Thoughts from party interBehind the Pressline ests aside and work to pass a budget that replaces reckless cuts with smart savings and wise investments in our future,” Obama said.

The president knows that the divided Congress may not fall in line behind any of his priorities, specifically mentioning climate change, but said he'd move forward with or without their support.

“If Congress won't act soon to protect future generations, I will,” Obama said.

These and more comments were made to a sustained standing ovation from Democrats in the chamber while Republicans and Speaker Boehner sat silent.

The president’s speech lasted long enough that by the time Sen. Rubio appeared for his rebuttal, I, like many others, had long fallen asleep. According to media reports the next morning, the only thing they wanted to cover was his groping awkwardly for a quick drink of water.

Rubio made it clear that while the president doesn’t believe we can create a path for prosperity by cutting spending, he and the Republicans do not believe we can tax our way to economic growth.

Thus gridlock is safely preserved for yet another term as our political reps do their best to pit citizen against citizen.

Sadly, it seems nobody in Washington is prepared to get down to business and find the common ground that requires spending cuts and tax overhauls. Neither side seems ready to do more than grandstand and place blame on the other, while we see costs and debts on the rise and the economy struggle. It’s time we contact our representatives and say: “Get serious ... please! For all our sakes!”

February 23, 2013

100 Years Ago - January, 1913 County’s first centennial feted Warren County celebrated its 100th birthday anniversary in 1913 with nearly a week of festivities which were arranged by event chairman Addison B. Colvin of Glens Falls.

This was all climaxed by a sham battle staged between Miller Hill, Glens Falls and the Luzerne mountains and involving 3,800 National Guardsmen. There was also a grand parade, the biggest parade ever seen in Glens Falls, which was said to have been witnessed by 30,000 people. The trolley company reported that they carried 45,000 passengers on the day of the parade.

One hundred years later, Feb. 12, 2013, a group of citizens gathered in the cold at 6 o’clock in the evening, on the porch of Doug and Louise Goetsche’s Cornerstone Victorian Bed & Breakfast in Warrensburg, at the invitation of town historian Sandi Parisi. With noisemakers in hand and church bells ringing they greeted the beginning of Warrensburgh’s 300th year.

Warrensburgh’s beginnings

The year 1813 was a troubled time in America. The War of 1812, an armed conflict between the U.S. and Great Britain, was in its second year.

On Feb. 12, 1813 the town of Warrensburgh was born, a far different place than it is today. Back in 1792 this whole area was called Thurman, named for John Thurman who came from New York city, settled here and began development in the area. The lands named in his honor contained the towns which encompassed today’s towns of Bolton, Chestertown, Hague, Horicon, Johnsburgh, Thurman, Stony Creek, Warrensburgh and a part of Caldwell. In 1799 Bolton and Chester were formed from Thurman. In 1810 the town of Caldwell (in recent decades known as Lake George) was formed from parts of Bolton, Thurman and Queensbury.

On Feb. 12, 1813, Thurman was divided, creating the towns of Warrensburgh and Athol.

When Warrensburgh was first organized, it was in Washington County, but in exactly one month, on March 12, 1913, the county was partitioned and Warren County was established with Warrensburgh located near

its center. Hackensack and Spruce Mountains were within the boundaries of the new town.

The men who made it happen William Bond came to Warrensburgh in 1786 to take up his 500-acre land grant to become the town’s first settler. It is believed that he took up residence near Bond’s Pond, today called Echo Lake, before he set his sights on Chestertown. One of his daughters stayed in the region and married into the Tripp family in Chestertown. it is unclear how Warrensburg acquired its name. Warren County had been named for General (Doctor) Joseph Warren who died heroically in 1776 at the battle of Bunker Hill near Boston. A portion of land, called Warrensburgh Tract, was situated on the east bank of the Hudson River. At that time, land had been set aside by the state after the Revolutionary War as payment for the soldiers.

This tract was probably named with General Joseph Warren in mind.

Historic family remembered The town’s name may have other roots. In 1804, James Warren came to Warrensburgh — originally known as “The Bridge” — and he settled on river property which is today at the corner of Main and Water streets.

He conducted a tavern, store and potash factory at this site. James Warren is said to have erected a big sign that said “Warren’s” on Main Street, with an arrow pointing north to his business. Warren drowned in the West (Hudson) River in 1811 near Thurman and is buried in the Warrensburgh Cemetery with his wife and son.

Determining the town’s name As James Warren was a well-respected citizen, the town could have been named for him or Joseph Warren or the Warren Tract, or maybe for them all. Warren’s wife, Melinda Warren and their son, Nelson Warren went on after James’s death to become prominent citizens. It was at Mrs. Warren’s house on April 4, 1813 that the first town meeting was held.

In establishing a name for the town, the community leaders considered naming it for Judge Kitchel Bishop, a man of prominence, who settled here in 1804, the same year James Warren did. Bishop, a farmer, lived on the lands where Peter Haggerty and his neighbor Eileen Frasier live today on Main

Citizens flock to spaghetti dinner The spaghetti dinner and silent auction held Feb. 9 by the VFW Men’s Auxiliary Post 4821 to benefit the Warrensburg PTSA was a great success. Over 200 meals were served and all money raised will benefit reconstruction of the Warrensburg Elementary School playground. The PTSA and Men’s Auxiliary officials thank everyone who attended, ordered take-out meals, and donated auction items.

The Warrensburg PTSA is seeking donations to build a new playground at Warrensburg Elementary. The current K3 playground is in serious need of reconstruction, as it does not meet the requirements for American with Disabilities Act. These pieces of equipment are pricey and are vital to youngsters still building their motor skills. The communities’ support of the PTSA is greatly appreciated. To become a member, come into the Elementary School and pick up application form. Adult membership is still just $7 and a student membership is only $4.

Over the fence Unfortunately the Valentines for Vets session held on Feb. 9 from 1 – 3 p.m. was not well attended. There were five children ranging in age from 5 to 14, and four adults. Everyone worked diligently to make nearly 100 cards for residents of area nursing homes.

Time is running out to qualify for the state School Tax Relief Program (STAR) program. Applications for the program, which saves property owners hard-earned cash on their school taxes, are available at the Town Hall. The deadline for completed applications is March 1. STAR provides homeowners with two types of partial exemptions from school property taxes.

The town Board of Assessment Review consists of five who are appointed by the Town Board. The board’s function is to hear objections and concerns from property owners about their assessments. At this time, there is one seat unfilled. Anyone interested in serving on the board should write a letter of interest to the Thurman Town Clerk.

Those interested in being part of history in the making will not want to miss Thurman’s hometown celebration of

Street opposite the Presbyterian Church. Incidentally, legend has it that it was on Miss Frasier ’s property in 1826 that author James Fenimore Cooper, while on his Adirondack vacation, penned a section of his book “The Last of the Mohicans.”

At that first town meeting, James L. Thurman, a prosperous farmer, became the first supervisor of the new town of Warrensburgh. He came here from Athol and lived in the old Samuel Judd farm house overlooking the Judd Bridge with his wife and three children, Susan, Charles and Samuel Thurman.

The house was originally the Timothy Stow place and today known in recent years as Austin Perry’s Kit ‘n Kin Horse Farm. Following James Thurman as supervisor of Warrensburgh in 1814 and 1815 was Harmon Hoffman. In 1813 Duncan Cameron became the first supervisor of Thurman.

Transportation in the new ‘Burgh Traversing Warrensburgh from east to west in the early days was very difficult because the Schroon River split the town in two portions. Many years after the town was founded, a total of five bridges were built in town at great cost.

I used to wonder how Stephen Griffing ever got past this watery roadblock when he passed through here in 1800 from Dutchess County with his family, horses, wagons and worldly goods to settle in Thurman. It later occurred to me that coming up on the historic old north-south trail, probably what is now Rte. 9, he traveled through the woods on today’s Baker Crossing Road, then followed the Schroon River north to Thurman.

When he arrived at the area where Thurman Bridge had yet to be built, the ice blocked him from crossing the river and he had to camp out until not only the ice melted, but the Spring high waters to recede. The first Thurman Bridge, built of wood for about $4,000, was not constructed there until 1836.

The Glen Bridge, however, was built in 1816 and was swept away by a flood in 1843 but was rebuilt immediately as a covered bridge which was swept away again in 1903 by ice. The original bridge had a sign on it saying, “Warning: $10 fine for riding or driving over the bridge faster than a walk.”

River takes its toll Sometime in the era that Warrensburgh was founded, the Judd Bridge was constructed. It was a toll bridge owned by farmer

Warren County’s Bicentennial on June 15, 2013. Anyone interested in creating a float or participating in the parade is urged to contact Evelyn Wood at the town hall, 623-9649.

Thurman officials have decided to name this Bicentennial celebration “Thurman Old Home Days” to be held the evening of Friday June 14 and Sunday 15 starting and Saturday from mid-day until dusk. The celebration is to be filled with activities such as a parade, children’s games, a military encampment, live music, and fireworks.

The Thurman transfer station’s hours of operation are noon to 3 p.m. on Wednesdays, and 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays. Special local trash bags, available for purchase either at the Town Hall or the transfer station, are necessary for depositing household refuse at the facility. Call 623-9649 or 623-4588 for the hours they can be obtained.

Those experiencing difficulty getting their trash to the Thurman transfer station may have Jim Desourdy take them there for $5 per week, or $5 per pickup as needed. Desourdy routinely picks up every Saturday starting at 9 a.m. To reach him, call 623-4254.

Thurman activities and events The annual Highway Crew Appreciation Luncheon will be held Feb. 26 at the Thurman Town Hall. the meal will be served to road crew members at 11 a.m. Debbie Runyon has offered to volunteer and is looking for people to assist by donating food and drinks, plastic plates and cups, silverware, etc. Anyone interested in assisting at the event is urged to contact Runyon at 744-5677 — your help would be greatly appreciated. Debbie expresses her thanks, in advance, to those who can assist in this event. Our local road crew works hard regardless of the weather conditions, does a great job, and they deserve their special day.

The Thurman Quilting Group holds their meetings every Monday from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at the Thurman Town Hall. Bring your knitting, sewing, or quilting projects and make some new friends. For more information, contact Myra Vopleus at 623-2633.

Thurman Maple Days will once again be held the three weekends of mid-March, so area residents as well as visitors are invited to bring their families to visit all six sites.

Young and old alike enjoy watching maple syrup being made.

Four maple farms — Adirondack Gold, Valley Road, Hidden Hollow and Toad Hill — all produce maple syrup, carrying on a centuries-old tradition.

These maple farms have an array of different products, including syrup, maple sugar, maple peanuts and candies, as well as maple tea and coffee and souvenir clothing items.

James Judd, and for many years, it was the only bridge available to get from one side of the town to the other.

Years ago my late husband, Mervin Hadden, shared a vivid recollection of an incident the afternoon of Feb. 27, 1923 — when he was 6 years old — walking with his father, Edward Hadden and he witnessed the aftermath of the collapse of the newer iron Judd Bridge. The span had collapsed under the weight of a wagon load of wood, two horses and two men, Benjamin Guiles and Walter Varnum. The two men had jumped from the load and escaped somewhat uninjured but the horses had fallen into the icechoked river. One horse was bleeding and seriously hurt under the mass of debris, he said. The next replacement Judd Bridge was not built until Aug. 20, 1924.

Settlers flock to town The first permanent settlers to occupy the new Queen Village of the Adirondacks were mostly Scottish and English, many of them having come from the old country looking for a good life. It was a wild country accompanied by a rough and perilous struggle for existence and it would be many years before the luxury we live in today was to arrive.

Just off Horicon Avenue, on what is today Rosalie Avenue, looking down on Rte. 9, was an old blockhouse located near the huge boulder called “High Rock,“ the landmark that once stood at the entrance to the town.

In 1790 and 1791, in the early days of the settlement, guards stayed at night at the blockhouse to look out for Indian attacks.

During the period between 1810 and 1820, lumbering became quite a prominent industry. Settlers tended their small farms in the summer and lumbered their land in the winter. Even as late as 1836, Gorden’s Gazetteer described the town as being mountainous and wild, covered with woods and abounding with iron ore.

The census here on this sparsely populated tract was not counted until 1820 when 956 people were recorded as residents while in neighboring Athol there were 570 citizens.

Early settler William Johnson was the first white person to die in Warrensburgh.

In 1974 former Warrensburgh Town Historian, the late Mabel M. Tucker, who loved Warrensburgh, wrote “You have come a long way, Warrensburgh, to reach the place you are to date. Since 1813, a beginner, now a topnotch winner, a credit to the Empire State!”

— Rest in peace, Mabel!

Car races, family fun featured for concluding Carnival weekend

By Thom Randall

thom@denpubs.com LAKE GEORGE — As the final weekend of the 2009 Lake George Winter Carnival approaches, event organizers said they're expecting a large crowd for their long lineup of events featuring outdoor family fun.

Headlining the weekend are the ice races of the Adirondack Motor Enthusiast Club. Scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday, the races are a carnival tradition, drawing thousands of spectators.

"It’s an exciting lineup of races each year with a lot of unusual vehicles,” carnival representative Nancy Nichols said.

The races feature a wide variety of modified sports cars, careening and skidding on ice around a convoluted race track off Million Dollar Beach.

Both Saturday and Sunday, activities include a variety of children's activities and games on the ice from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A giant ice slide in Shepard Park is available during daylight hours over the weekend.

Saturday features a Chicken Wing Cook-off, noon to 2

p.m. at Shepard Park Beach.

The popular bonfire on the beach, complete with s’mores and musical entertainment is to begin at 4 p.m. in Shepard Park. Fireworks over the Lake follow at about 6:30 p.m. All day, young children are likely to enjoy the alpaca petting zoo.

Snowmobile rides will be offered both days from noon to 2 p.m. and tethered hot air balloon rides will be starting at 8 a.m., weather permitting — these two will be available for a fee.

On both Saturday and Sunday will be a snowmobile water skip demonstration at 2:30 p.m., in which a sled careens across open water.

Nichols said that the upcoming car races depend on ice being at least 12 inches thick. she guessed Wednesday that despite warm temperatures forecast for the weekend, enough ice will have formed before then.

With a sunny, above-freezing forecast — combined with various schools’ mid-winter break, Nichols said she expected a robust turnout for the Carnival this weekend. She added that the same two factors made last weekend a record-breaker.

“Despite cancellation of the motorcycle races, Saturday was outrageous,” she said. “I’ve never seen so many people in the village except for the Fourth of July.”

Carnival attendees particularly enjoyed kite flying on the ice, and a scavenger hunt conducted through town, involving village merchants, she said, extending an invitation for people to return for the final Carnival weekend of 2013.

“This is a weekend not to be missed, because the carnival won’t be back until next year,” she said.

Pendragon Theatre presents ‘Terra Nova’ at Tannery Pond Feb. 22 NORTH CREEK — Our Town Theatre Group will sponsor Pendragon Theatre’s production of “Terra Nova,” a riveting play about the race to the South Pole from 1910 to 1912 on Feb. 22 at 7:30 p.m. at Tannery Pond Community Center.

In the winter of 1911-1912, five Englishmen and five Norwegians raced each other to the bottom of the earth.

Only the five Norwegians returned. This is the story of the Englishmen. In honor of the expedition’s centennial, Pendragon is staging Ted Tally’s compelling look at heroism under adverse and deadly conditions.

the county’s total assessed property valuation.

Following this welcome news was the announcement Friday Feb. 15 by county Treasurer Michael Swan that the county’s bond rating has been hiked one level, which will mean considerable savings when the government borrows money. The nation’s leading credit rating agency, Standard & Poor ’s, boosted Warren County’s rating from A+ to AA, based on improved financial condition.

This change will lower the county’s interest rate by one to 1.5 points, saving the county tens of thousands of dollars per $1 million borrowed, Swan said Tuesday. The county, however, has no pending plans to borrow more money, he added.

“This rating increase demonstrates that we’re on the right track, we’re making good financial decisions, and we’re in good financial shape,” he said, praising county leaders as well as employees for cutting costs.

Standard & Poor ’s new credit report on the county, issued Feb. 11, reads, “The county's financial position remains strong and has improved substantially in the past four years,” noting the county’s projected $2 million surplus accruing as of Dec. 31.

The report observed how the county has been building up its financial reserves since a low point reached in 2009, and its leaders conservatively estimate sales tax and occupancy tax revenues while the revenues have continued to rise.

The report notes that reductions in employees and reorganization of duties in recent years, combined with the sale of the bicounty trash plant, have contributed to the county’s financial success despite prevailing financial pressures.

The credit agency praises the county’s multi-year financial planning — and the pending sale of Westmount Nursing Home, which should save the county $500,000 to $800,000 per year.

Overall, Standard & Poor's revised its assessment of Warren County's financial management practices to "good" from “standard.”

The agency also praises the county for avoiding cashflow borrowing, providing a cushion for unexpected expenses and stabilizing taxes. The report also describes the county’s total debt burden as low, noting it is $2,090 per resident, and was obtained at favorable interest rates.

“Warren County has made significant structural adjustments to its budget and is on a sustainable path to maintain strong reserves,” the report continues.

That financial conservatism was behind the county officials budgeting sales tax revenue of $42 million in 2012, so they’ll have several million dollars to offset anticipated increases in fuel, employee retirement and health care costs.

County supervisors and area economic officials have said the increase in sales tax is due to prosperous retail activity, strong vehicle sales and robust summer tourism.

Swan said that the increase in home sales and rebound from the recession means people are burying more major appliances and spending more on home improvement.

“We’re headed in the right direction,” Swan said.

Assemblyman Dan Stec praised the county leaders for their financial decisions leading to the credit rating hike.

“This is wonderful news that Warren County is on solid financial footing in challenging economic times,” he said.

The dos and don’ts of basement finishing R

emodeling a basement is a popular home improvement project. A finished basement makes the space more functional and, when done correctly, can add a considerable amount of living space to a home.

An unfinished basement allows homeowners to transform the room into anything they desire. But there are some dos and don’ts to finishing a basement, including ensuring the project adheres to local building codes.

Glens Falls National’s

Finishing a basement pays dividends in additional space in a home that doesn’t require the same level of investment as putting an addition on the house. Also, the groundwork for a finished room is already there, as most basements are already set up with a poured concrete floor and some walls, usually cinder blocks. Some electrical components, plumbing and the creature comforts of drywall and a

DO start with a detailed plan. Measure out the basement and mark any items that cannot be moved, such as a furnace, water heater or pipes. Create a design board that showcases the materials you plan to use on the project. Think about ways you plan to arrange furniture and consider all of the possible uses for the room. Will it be a home theater? Will someone be sleeping down there?

*Home Equity Line of Credit, no closing costs, provided a minimum advance of $10,000 is taken at closing. Advances may be taken either by using standard Home Equity Line checks provided by the Bank or by signing a separate Installment Loan Agreement(s) with its own home equity loan rate(s) and term(s). Minimum advance by the installment loan method is $5,000 with a maximum of four outstanding loans at any time. As principal is repaid on the installment loan(s) advance(s), the available credit on the line increases by an equal amount. 2.99% for the first 3 years of the home equity agreement will be charged on new lines with advance(s) taken by writing a Home Equity Line check. This 2.99% interest offer does not apply if the loan purpose is to refinance an existing Glens Falls National mortgage or home equity balance. At conclusion of the 3 year introductory fixed rate period, APR will be calculated based on the highest Prime Rate published in the Wall Street Journal. WSJ Prime Rate is presently 3.25% as of 12/16/08. For combo lines of $25,000 or more the annual percentage for advances taken by check will be prime +.25%, for lines less than $25,000, the annual percentage rate is prime +.75%. Rates on check advances are subject to quarterly adjustment throughout the term of loan and will not exceed a maximum of 14.95% APR. There is no minimum rate. This offer applies to consumer lines of $250,000 or less. Minimum payment of $100 on check advances may apply. Payments may be made through a Glens Falls National checking or savings account. For a typical installment loan advance of $25,000 over 10 years, your monthly payment would be approximately $271.22, assuming an automatic payment from a Glens Falls National checking or savings account and an APR of 5.49%. If the home equity agreement is cancelled for any reason within 2 years from closing date, the amount of closing costs and mortgage tax the Bank pays at closing (approximately $705 for a typical $25,000 line), will be added to payoff amount owed. Maximum approved line is 80% of appraised value of house minus existing first mortgage balance, if any. If the Bank determines Title Insurance is necessary, cost will be borne by customer.

Ample lighting will help the room feel like part of the house and not just a forgotten storage area.

DO take into consideration moisture issues in the basement. Many basements are plagued by moisture issues ranging from water seepage to condensation forming on walls. These situations may vary depending on the

weather throughout the year.

Certain materials may need to be used to mitigate water issues before finishing can take place. The installation of water-barrier systems, drainage, sump pumps, or encapsulation products could drive up the cost of a basement renovation.

DO keep the possibility of flooding in the back of your head. Homes that are near waterways or at low elevation may be at risk of flooding. Basements are especially susceptible to flood damage. Therefore, think about the practicality of finishing a basement if you are prone to flooding.

Gambling casino from page 1

Citizen activist Joanne Gavin advises the Warren County Board of Supervisors Feb. 15 not to spend money on a study reviewing the impact of a casino in Lake George. Instead, she urged them to concentrate on other paths of economic development, like promoting upscale housing for high-tech professionals expected to work at GlobalFoundries in Malta within several years.

Photo by Thom Randall

W’burg’s 200th from page 1 on hand for the presentation.

The Town of Warrensburg was established on February 12, 1813, a hamlet first known as “The Bridge.” Warrensburg was developed due to its vast tracts of softwood forests and a 70-foot drop in the Schroon River in its last three miles before entering the Hudson River, providing water power for producing lumber and tanning leather.

Relying on this local natural power source, entrepreneurs developed various sawmills, gristmills, tanneries, as well as plants that manufactured clothing, paper and cardboard. One of the town’s products, the sturdy wool Warrensburgh Pants, became nationally famous. Potash production was an important factor in the

She urged that county supervisors should — to inform themselves of gambling’s impact —obtain and read copies of studies that have been conducted by other municipalities in the northeastern U.S., including Newport, R.I. In November, voters in that state approved allowing casinos, but voters in Newport defeated the proposal.

Lake George Mayor Robert Blais appeared before the Board of Supervisors in January, lobbying for the county to share the cost of such a study, which he estimated to range from $25,000 to $75,000.

Blais had said “the gambling train” was coming through Warren County, and the supervisors could “sit and watch it go by,” or take action to consider its impact.

Friday, Gavin voiced a response to Blais’ plea.

“Let’s let the casino train go right through town,” she said.

County and local municipal officials have recently renewed discussion studying the regional impact of casino gambling, following Gov. Cuomo’s speech last month suggesting that three destination casinos could be located upstate.

Proponents of siting a casino in Lake George have mentioned a price tag of about $1 billion for developing a fullfledged destination attraction that would provide jobs and economic expansion. Opponents of the concept have warned of the negative consequences of a gambling casino on fami-

economy of the town during its formative years.

With its various industries, Warrensburg rose to pre-eminence in the 1800s, a status that endured well into the 20th Century.

Along the way, the town produced some notable citizens, influential in expeditions, cultural development and state politics.

Frank Thomas, in his speech, extended appreciation to the town’s representatives and their predecessors, whose efforts over the past 200 years contributed to the development, progress and quality of life in both the town and Warren County, which was established the same year.

Friday’s observance is one of many to be held throughout 2013 in connection with the county’s bicentennial. For details, see: www.warrenny200.org.

Gavin told the supervisors that instead of pursuing gambling casinos, county leaders should be encouraging other avenues of economic development, including promoting residential growth and enhancing mass transit — both in the light of the pending expansion of GlobalFoundries computer chip campus in Malta, with 1,000 more high-paying jobs envisioned. The new plant, expected to produce semiconductor chips for the booming market for mobile electronic devices, is anticipated to prompt a considerable demand for upscale housing in a region that includes Warren County.

Gavin noted that GlobalFoundries’ Malta chip plant has been named as a possible site for the production of semiconductors used in Apple Computer ’s products.

Analysts have speculated that whether the chips are for Apple or another mobile device manufacturer, dozens of other high-technology firms could be drawn to the area, creating many more jobs and an even greater demand for housing.

She noted that employees at the computer firms would be attracted to live in Warren County and in the town of Lake George due to the area’s natural beauty, and amenities such as the new Charles Wood Park, rather than a casino.

“Let’s concentrate on what means most to us in the Adirondacks,” she said.

Gavin, one of the founders of the Lake George Citizens Group, was pivotal in the 2011 defeat of three Lake George Town Board members — Republicans who were replaced by three candidates affiliated with her organization.

‘Krazy Downhill Derby’ this weekend

thom@denpubs.com CHESTERTOWN — For 37 years, local residents have fought off cabin fever with a beloved local event — a kooky sled race that annually provides plenty of family fun.

Each year, relatives and friends get together weeks in advance of the race to fashion weird craft — anything from simple cardboard creations to complex or bizarre feats of engineering — to slide down the snowy slope of Dynamite Hill Ski area.

The friendly competition, called the Krazy Downhill Derby, is set for Saturday Feb. 23. from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

This year, participation in the event is expected to be greater than ever, and plenty of socializing is undoubtedly in store.

Registration for the sled race is from at 11 a.m., with the competition starting promptly at noon.

Spectators are urged to arrive early. Certificates and prizes will be awarded for fastest, most creative, funniest and more. A scavenger hunt is to be held from 9 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and a hockey shoot-out will be conducted through the morning.

Refreshments will be served in the ski hut, and prizes will be awarded.

There is a minimal $3 per-person fee for entering the race. For details, call 494-2722, or visit: www.northwarren.com.
